A fluid's resistance to flowing
Real World Example
Imagine trying to walk through a crowded room where everyone is standing shoulder-to-shoulder. Just like wading through that dense crowd, where each person slows you down and resists your movement, a fluid with high viscosity resists the flow of objects or itself moving through it. In this analogy, the people in the room represent the particles in a viscous fluid, making it difficult for you to move, much like how thick honey flows more slowly than water due to its higher viscosity.
